Overview

The Czechoslovakian manager Jiří Sobotka was the Basel team manager at this time, it was his fourth year as manager of the team. On 26 December 1964 FCB played against Grasshoppers Zürich in the quarter-finals of the Swiss Cup. They decided the match 3–1 for themselves in overtime. This was to be the very last match for the popular Basler captain of that time Hans Weber, because just seven weeks later he died of cancer. Between his first appearance in 1949 and his death in February 1965 he made 281 appearances for Basel scoring 48 goals.

Fourteen teams contested the 1964–65 Nationalliga A and Basel finished in eighth position with 27 points. They ended the championship with eleven wins and five draws in their 26 matches. They scored 44 goals and conceded 54. Lausanne Sports won the championship and thus qualified for the following years European Cup. In the Cup Basel started in the round of 64, 10 October 1964, with a home win against lower classed Locarno. In the next round they played at home against Bern which was won 3–1 and, consequently, drawn at home against Lasuanne Sports in the round of 16 which ended in a 3–2 victory. After the quarter-final against Grasshoppers Zürich Basel were drawn at home again for the semi-final. The game against Sion was played on 7 March 1965. Basel were defeated 2–3 and Sion continued to the final which they won against Servette.

Basel were qualified for the 1964–65 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and in the first round they played CA Spora Luxembourg. A 2–0 home win and a 0–1 away defeat was enough to take them through to the second round. But two defeats against Strasbourg ended their Fairs Cup competition.
